Skytree is a towering structure located in Tokyo, Japan, and is one of the most visited places in the country. With its unique features and impressive design, Skytree has become a must-see destination for both locals and tourists alike. The tower stands at 634 meters tall and is a prominent landmark in Tokyo‘s skyline. It opened to the public in 2012 and since then has been an iconic symbol of modern Japan.
One of the most distinctive features of Skytree is its architecture. It was designed by Nikken Sekkei, a renowned Japanese architectural firm, and is divided into two sections – the tower and the top section called Tembo Galleria. The tower section comprises two observation decks referred to as Tembo Deck and Tembo Gallery, both of which present unrivaled views of Tokyo and the surrounding areas. The tower’s unique design has helped maintain its stability despite its height, as it incorporates seismic control technologies that keep it secure in the event of seismic activity.
The Tembo Deck is one of the main attractions on the tower and is located on the 350th floor. It is accessible via high-speed elevators that can carry up to 40 people per trip. The deck provides a 360-degree view of the surrounding areas, making it an ideal location to capture panoramic pictures of Tokyo. The floor also has a unique glass-bottom feature, which visitors can stand on and get a bird’s eye view of the city. The Tembo Deck also features an array of interactive exhibits that educate visitors about the tower and its operations, making it an ideal spot for tourists who are curious about the tower or Japan.
On the other hand, Tembo Galleria rests on the 450th floor and is the highest area in the tower accessible to visitors. Visitors can reach this section via elevators that run at low speeds, giving them an opportunity to witness the journey taking in the beauty of the tower’s interior. The area has a unique spiral walkway blended with special lighting that immerses visitors in a unique and unforgettable experience. Here, visitors can witness a beautiful out-door scene featuring Mt. Fuji as they appreciated the skyline on a uniquely designed outdoor space.
Skytree is also home to a variety of restaurants, shopping centers and entertainment joints. Visitors can enjoy traditional Japanese cuisine at various restaurants located within Tembo Deck and the tower’s base, before visiting the shopping center to grab a souvenir. One of the main shopping destinations is Solamachi, a massive complex located at the base of Skytree that features brands from all over the world and offers an immersive shopping experience that is hard to match anywhere else. Other exciting amenities that Skytree offers include a planetarium where visitors can indulge in breathtaking shows, photo opportunities as well as an aquarium to take in the underwater beauty of various sea animals.
Visiting Skytree is worth it, because it offers an unparalleled experience that you will not get anywhere else. It’s a perfect location for both tourists and locals who want a taste of contemporary Japanese architecture and design. Skytree provides insights into Japan’s rich cultural heritage with interactive exhibits that describe its operations in detail, making it great for a history lesson. The bird’s eye view of Tokyo from the Tembo Deck is breathtaking. It provides an opportunity to view the city’s scale from a unique vantage point unparalleled by any other attraction in Japan.
